...and Charged Over Lesbian Relationship, Anonymous Goes on the Offensive.
When Florida high school student Kaitlyn Hunt was 17, she began dating a 15-year-old teammate on her school's girls' basketball team. Kaitlyn's parents say the parents of the 15-year-old never complained to them about the (consensual) relationship. But a few months after Kaitlyn turned 18, the younger girl's parents had her arrested. She was charged with a felony—"lewd and lascivious battery of a child 12-16 years old." The girl's parents also succeeded in getting her expelled from school by appealing to the school board after the school and a judge refused to grant their request, according to Kaitlyn's mother, Kelly Hunt Smith.

About 12 or 13 years ago we dealt with a very similar situation. A friend of one of my daughters who happens to be lesbian was living with us for the last 2 years of school because her family had moved away. She was in a relationship with another girl 2 years younger whose stepfather found out about it and was a religious homophobe. The guy forced his stepdaughter to press charges on this girl. We got her an attorney. The day of the hearing the halls of the court were filled with witnesses, teachers and friends for our side that the other family walked out of the building and dropped the case.
Last year the two girls became a couple again.
